God Slayer Chronicles Chapter 9

In the Yang Clan main hall, a man with a light blue goatee sat with his legs crossed, chuckling to himself – Yang Zi .

Yang Zi was incredibly happy at the moment, as recent events had unexpectedly gone his way . His cousin Yang Fu had gone off to some backwater to cultivate, leaving him in utter suspense for the past few months .

As time pa.s.sed though, he had become calmer . The fact that Yang Fu hadn't returned in seven months could only mean one thing – he'd failed .

It was a glorious moment for Yang Zi, for an eternity he had been jealous of his older cousin . Personally selected by Elder Lao, meeting a bride that's far more beautiful than all of his combined! The heavens were cruel, the only solace he could take was that his wife was barren . Alas though, his wife had finally given birth, to a boy no less .

It was as if a stake had been plunged into Yang Zi's heart, almost unable to accept it . The final blow had yet to come though; the righteous and honorable Yang Fu was about to make a breakthrough in his cultivation!

Yang Zi had quivered in his boots; he had been continuously receiving threats from the Dark Moon Sect, telling him unless he could secure the Yang Clan his line would be wiped out .

Although Yang Zi was in an internal conflict, and couldn't be called the most kind-hearted as men, he still cared deeply for his family . Especially his children, often would he gift them Spirit Fruits and Medical Pills, the thought of them exterminated shook him to his very core .

There was only one choice; he must secure the Yang Clan! For his children's sake, even if it means killing another's children with his own two hands .

"Enough!" One of the elders interrupted while slamming his fist onto the arm of his chair .

"We have delayed long enough, Yang Fu is obviously no longer around, and without a breakthrough into Coloured Star Realm, our Yang Clan has no defenses whatsoever! That measly Kuo Clan could finally come with an army and destroy us . "

"Worst of all, we have no allies . The Azure Cloud Sect that we've allied with; that the ancestors helped co-found has abandoned us! We must elect Yang Zi to the patriarch position immediately . Otherwise, millennia of Yang Clan history shall be eradicated in a few days!" The grey-bearded elder shouted at the council, demanding a vote that they had put off for years now .

His words were moving and touched the heart of the entire council, the threat of their whole Clan disappearing was indeed a great motivator to discard Yang Fu, so that they may protect themselves .

Standing from his chair, the elder smiled, "Now I call for a vote, all those that wish to vote for life, and Yang Zi to become patriarch raise your hand . "

The seven elders of the Yang Clan all looked at each other, sighing . They knew what had to be done for their survival . Some cursed that Yang Fu hadn't come back alive, or that the old patriarch had disappeared . Others relished at the moment and had been working for this day for too long .

Five of the seven elders raised their hands, which caused the grey-bearded one to smile . "It seems that the vote is conclusive, I would like to be the first to congratulate Patriarch Yang Zi on his ascension to the position of patriarch!"

Yang Zi took a humble bow, "Thank you, elders; I promise you I won't let down the faith you've placed in me . I just hope I'm worthy of your trust . "
